has to be El Capitan, just an awesome track that will test most cars, especially ones that aren't race cars like this weeks... lots of understeer an oversteer moments available through it...

Autumn Mini for me - i've loved this track since GT1. There was this one race there where you had to run a totally stock car, it was just about winable in a Viper, almost imposible in anything else.

In hindsight i probably should have voted for George, but i love el cap....
Hey! Minor remembered my car choice!!!
It worx round george too....
Balls...... you can believe it or not, start to work out where to go, and where you have to stop on George...
At first it loox like its all brake, accelerate, brake again, but in actual fact you can sweep some of those right angle bends, and start to turn the course into sections that make sense....
Its a real learning curve though... a proper challenge, and one that many many many GT drivers have yet to master through a lack of patience for what at first appears to be a daft or daunting track.
Given time, it can grow on you, and is a lot of fun in the M-spec Nur.

Yeah David, I see your point.
Steep learning curve, and memory-bending reqd. lol
And to all who don't like Fuji 2005, I agree to a point. It does seem ill-conceived in the final sector, the earlier versions are great there, this version not-so-much!
In all honesty, if I could vote again, I probably would vote for El'Cap even though we have already done it twice.
Nevermind, Eh?

Well you'll get your CZ someday Vexd. Not this week it appears. I'm still looking for a Bimmer. Any bimmer! Can't believe we haven't had one yet.......qualy excluded.
Of course the M-spec Nur is just about as good a choice as the M3 CSL..........almost!
And now I read that Suzuka lost it's F1 bid to Fuji for the Japanese GP.
Can't believe they are going to abandon one of the best circuits in the world. But that's F1 for ya.
I'm sure it makes perfect sense to King Bernie.

Now that sounds like fun!

How about a multi lapper, like 10 laps?
That would make for lower power, less grip, but countering the fact that it's a very short track, AND possibly involve the AI more than once?
VERY different, something we haven't done yet, technical cos of the AI, but not an over technical track.
Love the idea, give yourself a gold star young man!

El Capitan is so overdone ... it has featured TWICE in the WRS so far and George Paris hasn't featured at all (unless it came up in a week I was away or something).
I ran George last night in both directions and it's a freaking fun little ride, especially with something like a Peugeot 206 WRC

Which is why i was actually wondering why it was in the poll. If we are going to constantly re run something make it the ring.

KolyanaPeople who vote for El Capitan lack imagination, spark, an adventurous spirit and good looks.
Eep! :runs for cover:

So what if we can't help that it's an awesome track...flat-outI voted for El Capitan
Noooo! Who cares what she says!Drew22
Lol, fine fine.I still want El Capitan. Either way, George will be raced soon... Maybe christmas week, maybe not, but it'll be coming soon. So let's just do El Capitan for Christmas week, because we might not get another chance to see it for a while. And we WILL be seeing George soon no matter what the circumstances, just because we haven't run it yet. So can't you guys just wait one more week for George? 💡 👍 👍 👍 👍

Get it out of the way while I'm gone please!
